Cabbie tied to seat during Qld robbery

A taxi driver has had his hands tied behind his seat during an armed robbery west of Brisbane.

Police say the driver picked up a man in Brisbane and drove him to the Ipswich suburb of Bundamba around midnight, where the passenger produced a knife, tied up the cabbie and robbed him before fleeing on foot.

The alleged robber was found in the yard of a nearby property after the dog squad was called in.

He was arrested without incident and will front the Ipswich Magistrates Court on Monday, charged with robbery and fraud.
